Floyd Mayweather Jr scores Huge Pay-Per-View Numbers! Floyd is # 1 PPV King

If Floyd Mayweather Jr's unanimous decision victory over Juan Manuel Marquez wasn't impressive enough for you, then the Pay-Per-View numbers will knock your socks off. Today HBO announced the fight held at the MGM Grand Garden in Las Vegas managed to pull in 1 million pay-per-view buys!

Yes Folks, Floyd Mayweather Jr is a massive Super Star in the sport (like you already didn't know that.)

At around $49.95 a pop, the Pay-Per-View brought in an astounding $52 million in cash.

Richard Schaefer the CEO for Golden Boy Promotions had predicted the PPV numbers would be this high. Quoted in the media Schaefer stated: "A lot of people didn't believe us. Maybe I've gained a little credibility with my predictions."

Schaefer went on to add that "Love or Hate" Mayweather, he's the number one Pay-Per-View star on the planet. Hard to argue with his logic!

@edmundf2003 The term agreed is flying around every time Pacquaio opens his mouth... Well, if there was an agreement there would be a fight. I can send you information explaining exactly why Pacquaio, Bob Arum, and Freddie Roach are avoiding taking olympic style testing... But, I'll summarize... Olympic Style Testing does not allow for blackout dates (i.e 7-14 day cutoff's) because of EPO's that can be used to mask the use of PED's.... HE'S A CHEATER

@edmundf2003 Pacquaio you cheating ass punk... take the blood test... My eight year old daughter took one 2 days ago and played outside all day.... I'm scared of needles, I'm superstitious, It's about principals.... Only your fans believe that bull crap. Take the test, collect 40 million, beat Floyds butt, and prove your fighting legal in one day... IT IS THAT SIMPLE.... PACROID!
